Inside the ice cave.
While Xiao Ye was studying how to break the illusion and find a way out, he would occasionally glance at Qin Wan and Xiao Ci.
These past two days, Xiao Ci, under the pretext of checking on Qin Wan's cultivation progress, would frequently take Qin Wan's hand and casually play with it...
Those intimate gestures and natural behavior made Xiao frown and feel very uncomfortable.
Qin Qing, on the other hand, initially practiced and observed how Xiao Ye broke through illusions.
But as Xiao Ci and Qin Wan interacted intimately, Qin Qing gradually lost her curiosity about the illusion-breaking technique, and her mind became completely focused on Qin Wan and Xiao Ci...
So sweet!
What a perfect match!
I love it!
Sure enough, in stories of love born from misunderstandings, the female lead and the male supporting character are the true lovers, while the brainless male lead is just a fleeting figure.
"Brother Xiao, after we get out, I'd like to have some real combat experience, is that alright?"
Qin Wan glanced at Xiao Ye, who was getting closer and closer to the eye of the illusion array, and suddenly spoke.
Xiao Ci followed her gaze and saw that Xiao Ye was already standing in front of the illusion array. He smiled slightly and looked at Qin Wan beside him with doting eyes.
"good."
"boom!"
As soon as Xiao Ci finished speaking, the surrounding labyrinthine illusion began to distort...
The ice cave began to crack and crumble, leaving countless fissures and blinding glare beneath their feet...
In the nick of time, Xiao Ci immediately pulled Qin Wan into his arms...
On the other side, Qin Qing noticed something was wrong and immediately lunged at Xiao Ye, grabbing his arm tightly.
Although the male lead is not as safe and secure as the female lead.
But when faced with unknown dangers, the male lead's survival rate and safety are definitely higher than that of the female supporting character!
Although she also wanted to curry favor with the female lead, Qin Wan was simply too far away from her...
Moreover, the barrier set up by Xiao Ci was still in place, so even if she was too fast, she couldn't break through the barrier and appear next to Qin Wan.
Of course, the most important reason is that she is cowardly and afraid of death, and she doesn't want to ruin the ambiguous and warm atmosphere between Xiao Ci and Qin Wan.
After a dizzying spin, the four of them made it back safely to the depths of the Monster Forest.
The moment her feet touched the ground, before Qin Wan could even react, a deep, pleasant male voice entered her ears…
"The battlefield you desire."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Wan felt her body being propelled by a powerful force, flying straight towards a sinister giant python opposite her.
Qin Wan: "!!!"
Xiao Ci is shameless!!!
He actually attacked from behind!
Not only was Qin Wan shocked, but Xiao Ye and Qin Qing also stared wide-eyed in disbelief at Xiao Ci, who coldly and ruthlessly threw Qin Wan towards the giant python.
"Big brother?"
"Qin Wan has absolutely no combat experience, and this is an eighth-level giant python! She's in danger!"
As he spoke, Xiao Ye was about to leap forward, attempting to help Qin Wan and save her.
However, the moment he moved, a merciless, icy sword aura slashed straight down at him!
Xiao Ye's expression changed drastically. He narrowly avoided the attack and looked at Xiao Ci's location with disbelief.
"Big brother?"
Xiao Ci narrowed his dark eyes and stared at him with an unfriendly expression. "It's none of your business to interfere with what I do!"
"Brother, I'm just worried about Wan'er. She's only just started cultivating, how can she possibly fight against this level eight giant python? You're putting her in danger! She'll be in real trouble!"
Seeing the worry and unease on Xiao Ye's face, Xiao Ci narrowed his eyes dangerously, and a hint of dislike and aversion towards Xiao Ye appeared between his brows.
"Now you're worried about Wan'er's safety?"
"When you broke off the engagement, did you ever think about her?"
"She lived in the eyes and words of the world. She thought you were a good match. Wan'er treated you so sincerely and risked her life to save you."
"But what about you?"
And how did you treat her?
When you broke off the engagement, did you ever consider how the world would view and speak of Wan'er?
Before Xiao Ci could speak, Qin Qing couldn't stand it anymore and jumped out to condemn Xiao Ye's hypocrisy.
"I..." Xiao opened his mouth to explain, but didn't know how to start.
He is indeed very selfish...
When he broke off the engagement, he only thought about repaying Qin Qing, who had saved his life.
But they never considered or cared about Qin Wan's feelings...
After realizing he had mistaken his savior for someone else, he tried to make amends...
Thinking of this, Xiao also came back to his senses and looked up at Qin Qing.
"Yes, it was my mistake to mistake my savior for someone else."
"It was selfish of me to break off the engagement; I was unworthy."
"I have no intention of winning Wan'er back now. I just want to protect her and repay her for saving my life."
"I just wanted to do what I could!"
As he spoke, Xiao also gave Qin Qing and Xiao Ci a deep look.
“I know you all think I let Wan’er down, and I know I did something wrong. I never thought of making any excuses for myself.”
"I just don't want to keep making the same mistake..."
As he spoke, Xiao Ye looked at Qin Wan and said, "I'm really just worried about Wan'er. Please let me go help her..."
Seeing Xiao Ye's reaction, Qin Qing's expression was complicated, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
Xiao Ci gave Xiao Ye a deep look, and his perception of his younger brother's dullness was refreshed once again.
Xiao Ci didn't say much. As long as Xiao Ye made a move, his sword energy would arrive as promised...
Seeing Xiao Ye foolishly fighting with Xiao Ci's sword energy, Qin Qing finally couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to strike Xiao Ye hard, sending him flying to the ground.
"Can't you use your brain?"
Do you think Brother Xiao would hurt Wan'er?
"So what if it's an eighth-level giant python? With Brother Xiao here, do you think Wan'er will be in any danger?"
What's your hurry?
Xiao Ye glanced at Xiao Ci, met Xiao Ci's disappointed gaze, and opened his mouth as if to explain something.
"Big brother, I'm sorry..."
"I let my concern cloud my judgment."
As he spoke, Xiao tightened his grip on the sword, his gaze involuntarily drifting towards Qin Wan.
Even though he knew that Qin Wan would be fine with Xiao Ci around, he still couldn't help but worry.
I'm afraid she'll get hurt, afraid something might happen to her.
Xiao knew that his thoughts were wrong, but he just couldn't control himself...
Seeing that Xiao Ye had finally stopped causing trouble, Qin Qing sheathed her sword and stopped paying attention to the foolish and self-righteous male protagonist.
Fortunately, Qin Wan saw things clearly in this life and was not bewitched by Xiao Ye, that foolish man.
Thank goodness.
Compared to Xiao Ye, Xiao Ci is simply too outstanding!!!
Qin Wan was already used to Qin Qing's feelings.
She continued to focus intently on performing the action scene...
"Clang clang clang!"
"Boom boom boom!"
The sword energy continuously struck the scales of the level eight giant python, producing a constant, intense, and sharp clanging sound.
Wherever the sword energy passed, dust flew up and all vegetation died...
Seeing Qin Wan's skillful movements, Xiao Ci's satisfaction grew even stronger.
Indeed, she is exceptionally intelligent!
[Xiao Ci's favorability increased by 2, current favorability is 84.]
Hearing the commotion, Qin Wan, who was in the middle of the battle, curled her lips in satisfaction...
